   For excessive radiation.   It was called a SARs test in my days of working on   
   cellphones.   It's a human flesh radiation absorption limit for unintended   
   emissions.   
      
   Actual comm transmissions are allowed to be higher.      
      
   Unintended emissions are largely contained by shielding inside the phone.  We   
   were working on phone reliability...doing things like temp cycling and long   
   term high temp and humidity exposure.    After one series of environmental   
   stress we sent some    
   phones back to the emissions lab for SARs test.  They all failed.    We sent   
   some more that had been through our environmental stress...they too failed.   
   We sent some old phones that had been just sitting around for a few years.    
   They failed.    Legal called....and said stop doing that and send us all your   
   documentation.    Claimed SARs is a "new" phone only requirement.      
      
   We tried to get lithium batteries to spontaneously combust too.  Legal didn't   
   like that either.   It's better to not have a record of knowing there might be   
   a problem when it comes to determining liability.
